A little over two months after the closing of the lists, at the beginning of the harshest discussion stage for the candidacies, the intern of Juntos por el Cambio - and in this case mainly of the PRO - was reflected
in mirror meetings
between the referents of the two sectors that had been fighting for the position in front of the Government and that already started the
dispute in an electoral key
.
In Exaltación de la Cruz there were no definitions on candidacies (neither photo), although the meeting itself implied a
movement towards the negotiations
prior to the definitions. Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, María Eugenia Vidal and Diego Santilli had lunch with Elisa Carrió, host at their home accompanied by Maximiliano Ferraro and Maricel Etchecoin. Aligned in the sector of the moderates, even with Carrió's sharp speech, with the meeting they sought to
reinforce that pole in the face of
growing
tensions
with the most intransigent of the opposition coalition.
Just a little while later, Mauricio Macri showed up with Patricia Bullrich at Vicente López's offices.
The former president and the head of the PRO took advantage of a meeting with the Salta party authorities to disseminate the photo of the two
main exponents of the hard wing
, with opposing positions to the leaders who had lunch 75 kilometers from there.
"I
already said it: I am going to put the body to the election
", Vidal insisted in Exaltación de la Cruz with the words that he had expressed publicly, and Carrió took the concept that they agreed to let transcend as central to the food under the gallery on air Free entry, cheese and empanadas, fish and puree for the main course and some pastries that Rodríguez Larreta brought.
“The most important thing was the call to put the body.
You have to arrive with absolute unity and lower your anxiety
.
There are two months until the closing of lists and we are in the middle of a pandemic ”, concurred attendees from both the PRO and the Civic Coalition.
The involvement did not imply definitions of candidacies but rather the "commitment" to the strategy to avoid eventual internal ruptures and at the same time
not to enhance the confrontation
with the Government.
Carrió had been warning about the risk of continuing to tighten the rope in the critical health and economic context, and ratified it at the meeting.
“Lilita is very worried about the country.
More than ever we have to be united and
be very responsible
”, said those who listened to her.
Even without proper names, the references to "anxiety" pointed to the
bidding for candidacies
. Bullrich is already moving as an applicant in the Capital, and in recent weeks he marked the lack of economic assistance to entrepreneurs in the City and questioned Rodríguez Larreta about the bimodal system in secondary schools. In the Province, Jorge Macri had come out once again to mark the field when he warned that the head of government would not define the lists in that territory.
“It is María Eugenia in the province and Diego in the Capital or vice versa, and
whoever does not like it to go to internships
. We don't have any more time for bullshit, ”Rodríguez Larreta had said in a meeting with mayors, as
Clarín
revealed
. The mayor of Vicente López rejects the passage of Santilli to the main district of the country.
“We are not talking about Pedro, Raúl or Cacho, but we have to end with it being this one or that one,
that one appears so that it is not the other
. There is a lot at
stake,
"
said one of the attendees at Exaltación de la Cruz, and ratified Larreta's previous drop in line:
" We can't fool around
. " At lunch they alluded to the high bar to maintain the number of deputies to renew the 60 admitted with the good election of 2017 ("it is difficult, but not impossible") and they ratified the strategy of being in the center to try to seduce a portion Major of the electorate: "We agreed to
build in the middle
to move towards a majority position, with everyone inside."
On the side of Macri they wielded that the meeting with Bullrich and Salta Martín Grande and Virginia Cornejo was scheduled a few days ago, but it worked as the opposite. The founder of PRO supports his former Minister of Security to
top the list in the City
, something that they directly take for granted. And the differences on the position in front of the Government are exposed again: “If they want to wear the Republic, are we going to surrender? We do not. If they ask you to drop classes, are you not going to confront? It is a
politically correct
speech
but far from reality
”.
The postponement of the primaries - under discussion in Congress - with the supposed confirmation that they will take place, works as a
decompressing factor
. In that they agreed in the two meetings: they considered that for Together for Change it would be better to avoid them, although in some cases it will be a tool to define the arm wrestling without breaking.
